Download The end of Privacy: Curious Reads AudioBook Free

With this forceful, brief audiobook, technology guru and author of the best-selling Community Marketing is Bull (St. Martins Press) B. J. Mendelson exposes the crude actuality behind the smiley face of Internet networking: data trading. We all have been auctioning our private information, the audiobook argues, to the best bidder. Mendelson discusses the end of privacy from a modern day point of view, including chapters on:

• Metadata and its uses
• Data auctions
• The Internet of Things
• The use of sociable media for monitoring and suppression
• Just how safe is Cloud technology
• The Big Business of Big Data
• How trusted online retailers stalk, without authorization, their customers
• Anonymous and web activism
• The internet's dark aspect: Silk Highway, hacking, extortio
• EFF and other bodies promoting internet consumer rights

When we talk about the so-called "end of privacy", we conjure up images of state-run agencies secretly monitoring and saving our every move. Whilst this is actually the case, the true perpetrator in this permeating culture of intrusion is not a alternative party; its our very selves. We willingly transmit every moment of our own lives in trade for a moment's value of electronic attention. Mendelson, artfully and through personal narratives and journalism, says the story of how exactly we have undermined one of our own greatest societal assets.
